By prevailing over other claimants for the loyalties of men, the nation-state maintained an adequate measure of certainty and order within its territorial borders.

We should not allow the image of an immanent end brought about indirectly by our own action in the continuing human struggle for a just endurable order of existence to blind us to the fact that in some measure accelerating the end of our lease may be one consequence among others of many other of mankind's thrusts toward we know not what future.

Since in a majority of constellations the brightest star is designated Alpha ( α ), many people wrongly assume that Bayer meant to put the stars exclusively in order of their brightness, but in his day there was no way to measure stellar brightness precisely.

Carnivorans are the most diverse in size of any mammalian order, ranging from the least weasel ( Mustela nivalis ), at as little as and, to the polar bear ( Ursus maritimus ), which can weigh up to, to the southern elephant seal ( Mirounga leonina ), whose adult males weigh up to and measure up to in length.

In order to prove that the wave function did not collapse, one would have to bring all these particles back and measure them again, together with the system that was originally measured.

Historian Albert Mathiez argues that the authority of the Committee of Public Safety was based on the necessities of war, as those in power realized that deviating from the will of the people was a temporary emergency response measure in order to secure the ideals of the Republic.

The relatively clear line of sight between the satellites and receivers on the ground, combined with ever-improving electronics, allows satellite navigation systems to measure location to accuracies on the order of a few meters in real time.

A sextant can also be used to measure the Lunar distance between the moon and another celestial object ( e. g., star, planet ) in order to determine Greenwich time which is important because it can then be used to determine the longitude.

In order to objectively evaluate the improvement in voice quality there has to be some measure of voice quality.

The distance between two bonded atoms is a sensitive measure of the bond strength and its bond order ; thus, X-ray crystallographic studies have led to the discovery of even more exotic types of bonding in inorganic chemistry, such as metal-metal double bonds ,< ref > metal-metal quadruple bonds ,< ref > and three-center, two-electron bonds.

For example, a course designer might set up a line so that there are six and a half strides ( the standard measure for a canter stride is twelve feet ) between the jumps, requiring the rider to adjust the horse's stride dramatically in order to make the distance.

In order to show congruence, additional information is required such as the measure of the corresponding angles and in some cases the lengths of the two pairs of corresponding sides.

In order to prevent damage during structural testing, qualification tests were performed to a factor of safety of 1. 2 times the design limit loads.

Shorter TTLs can cause heavier loads on an authoritative nameserver, but can be useful when changing the address of critical services like Web servers or MX records, and therefore are often lowered by the DNS administrator prior to a service being moved, in order to minimize disruptions.

The first stage of boot loaders located on fixed disks and removable drives must fit into the first 446 bytes of the Master Boot Record in order to leave room for the default 64-byte partition table with four partition entries and the two-byte boot signature, which the BIOS requires for a proper boot loader — or even less, when additional features like more than four partition entries ( up to 16 with 16 bytes each ), a disk signature ( 6 bytes ), a disk timestamp ( 6 bytes ), an Advanced Active Partition ( 18 bytes ) or special multi-boot loaders If an active partition is found, the MBR code loads the boot sector code from that partition, known as Volume Boot Record ( VBR ), and executes it.

The Luftwaffe also used the technique in order to help their small bombers, and the enormous Gigant, Messerschmitt Me 321 glider, conceived in 1940 for the invasion of Britain, and used to supply the Russian front which also had air tow assistance from up to three bombers, into the air with loads that would have made the takeoff run too long otherwise.

MEBEA, which had already built the Reliant Robin under licence, modified the four-wheel chassis of the Reliant Kitten in order to accommodate higher loads and developed the prototype of a light utility vehicle with glass-fiber reinforced composite body.

A list ranking various space vehicles in order of heating applied to the airframe would have capsules at the top ( re-entering quickly with very high heating loads ), waveriders at the bottom ( extremely long gliding profiles at high altitude ), and the Space Shuttle somewhere in the middle.

In order to design to these loads, one would need to convert them to design loads by applying Load factors or, more generally, a form of safety factors to them.

In destructive testing, tests are carried out to the specimen's failure, in order to understand a specimen's structural performance or material behaviour under different loads.

Structural engineers ensure that buildings and bridges are built to be strong enough and stable enough to resist all appropriate structural loads ( e. g., gravity, wind, snow, rain, seismic ( earthquake ), earth pressure, temperature, and traffic ) in order to prevent or reduce loss of life or injury.

In order to design a structure, it is therefore necessary to first specify the loads that act on it.

Masonry arch bridges use a quantity of fill material ( typically compacted rubble ) above the arch in order to increase this dead-weight on the bridge and prevent tension from occurring in the arch ring as loads move across the bridge.

In order to hook and unhook the loads, the operator usually works in conjunction with a signaller ( known as a ' dogger ', ' rigger ' or ' swamper ').

Impact loads are typically given higher factors still ( say 2. 0 ) in order to account for both their unpredictable magnitudes and the dynamic nature of the loading vs. the static nature of most models.

When the load placed on the system is raised beyond normal usage patterns, in order to test the system's response at unusually high or peak loads, it is known as stress testing.

When developed, riders at the front are exposed to higher loads, and will tend to slip off the front in order to rejoin the pack farther back.

Increases in the control surface area required by large aircraft or higher loads caused by high airspeeds in small aircraft lead to a large increase in the forces needed to move them, consequently complicated mechanical gearing arrangements were developed to extract maximum mechanical advantage in order to reduce the forces required from the pilots.

The early phases of the program included the addition of new teaching and counseling positions in order to reduce class size and teaching loads and to expand the curriculum.

They had an ETH index of 66, equivalent to 330 kW, which was sufficient to power trains of up to eleven Mk 3 carriages, in order to allow them to power long trains, whose service run would be worked by a larger locomotive, between depot and terminus, although in actual passenger service loads rarely exceeded four or five carriages.

They brought hundreds of barge loads of supplies and in order to move these they built a tractor road to Hay River and even farther North.

At higher loads, the muscle will recruit all muscle fibres possible, both anaerobic (" fast-twitch ") and aerobic (" slow-twitch "), in order to generate the most force.
